Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, the body that runs NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS seats in Punjab, has released a provisional combined merit list of NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota candidates who applied for the 1st round of online counselling under NEET-UG-2026. This is a ranking list, not a seat allotment — it tells NRI-quota applicants where they stand relative to each other before the actual seat allotment for round 1 is done. The list carries 63 candidates, split into two groups labelled Category-I and Category-II, each ranked by NEET marks and NEET All-India Rank. Because it is marked 'provisional,' candidates get a chance to point out errors before it is finalised.
This is a provisional NRI-quota rank list for round 1 of BFUHS's NEET UG 2026 counselling — check your name, roll number and rank carefully now, because seat allotment will be based on the finalised version of this list.
What exactly has BFUHS published?
The document is titled 'Provisional combined merit list of NRI Candidates who have applied for 1st round of online counselling for admission to MBBS/BDS Course Under NEET-UG-2026.' It lists every NRI-quota candidate who applied for round 1, with their NEET UG roll number, NEET marks, NEET All-India Rank, name, gender, father's name and category, arranged in descending order of NEET marks.
In total, 63 candidates appear on the list: 27 in Category-I (serial numbers 1 to 27) and 36 in Category-II (serial numbers 28 to 63). The notice does not explain what distinguishes Category-I from Category-II within the NRI quota — candidates should refer to BFUHS's NRI counselling information bulletin/brochure for that definition, since it is not stated in this particular document.
Who is at the top of each category
The highest-ranked candidates set the benchmark for how the seat allotment is likely to move within the NRI quota. Below is a snapshot — not the full list — to show the range covered.
| Category | Merit No. | NEET Rank | NEET Marks | Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 1 | 87697 | 502 | Ayaan Gupta |
| I | 2 | 123245 | 476 | Angad Singh Brar |
| I | 27 | 974118 | 217 | Nayyab Kaur Virdi |
| II | 28 | 97250 | 495 | Adeya Achint |
| II | 29 | 104962 | 489 | Vedika Kaushal |
| II | 63 | 944296 | 223 | Taiyaba |
Why 'provisional' matters
A merit list marked 'provisional' means BFUHS has not yet locked it in as final. It is generated from the data candidates submitted at the time of application (NEET roll number, marks, rank, category, etc.). If there is a typing error, a mismatch between the NEET result and what is shown here, or a candidate believes their category or category placement is wrong, this is the stage to flag it — before the list is used to allot seats.
Because the notice itself does not give a specific window, date, or process for objections, candidates who spot a discrepancy should immediately check the official BFUHS admission portal (admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in) for any separate notice on how and when to raise a correction request, rather than assuming a deadline.
What this list does — and does not — mean
This list only ranks NRI-quota applicants against each other by NEET marks/rank. It does not confirm that any candidate has been allotted a seat, and it does not name a college or course (MBBS or BDS) against any candidate. Seat allotment for round 1 is a separate step that comes after this merit position is finalised, based on how many NRI-quota seats are available and each candidate's preference of college/course.
- This is a rank/merit position, not a seat offer.
- No college or course (MBBS/BDS) is confirmed for anyone at this stage.
- The list is 'combined' — Category-I and Category-II candidates are ranked within their own group, and both groups compete for the NRI quota seats available in round 1.
- Being high on this list improves your chance in the coming seat allotment, but does not guarantee a specific seat.
What NRI-quota candidates should do now
If you applied for round 1 of NRI-quota counselling under NEET-UG-2026 through BFUHS, take these steps immediately.
- Find your NEET UG roll number in the list and confirm your NEET marks, NEET rank, name and father's name are correctly recorded.
- Note your merit number and which category (I or II) you have been placed in.
- If any detail looks wrong (wrong marks, wrong rank, wrong category, spelling error in name), contact BFUHS through the official channel shown on their admission portal to get it corrected before the list is finalised.
- Keep checking the BFUHS admission website for the next notice — this will likely be the seat allotment result or choice-filling schedule for round 1, none of which is included in this particular document.
- Do not assume any specific date for objections, choice-filling, or allotment unless it is published by BFUHS directly — this notice contains only the merit list.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
Is this the final seat allotment list?
No. This is a provisional merit (ranking) list of NRI-quota applicants for round 1. It ranks candidates by NEET marks and rank; the actual seat allotment is a separate step that comes later.
What does 'NRI quota' mean here?
It refers to the separate set of MBBS/BDS seats that BFUHS counsels for NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category candidates and their sponsored relatives, as part of Punjab's NEET UG counselling process.
What is the difference between Category-I and Category-II in this list?
The notice itself does not define this distinction — it only lists candidates under these two headings. Candidates should check BFUHS's official NRI counselling brochure/information bulletin for the exact meaning of each category.
My name is not on the list — what should I do?
If you applied for NRI-quota round 1 counselling with BFUHS and do not find your name, contact BFUHS through their official admission portal to check the status of your application, since the notice does not give a separate process for this.
I found an error in my marks/rank/name — how do I fix it?
Since the list is marked provisional, errors can usually be flagged for correction. The notice does not specify a deadline or method for this, so check the BFUHS admission website for any accompanying instructions or contact details.
Does a high rank in this list guarantee me an MBBS or BDS seat?
No. It only shows your relative position among NRI-quota applicants. Your actual seat depends on the number of NRI seats available, your rank, and the college/course preferences you submit during the allotment process.
Where can I see the complete list of all 63 candidates?
The full list with all names, roll numbers, ranks and marks is published as a PDF on the BFUHS admission portal (admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in).
If you're an NRI-quota applicant for BFUHS's NEET UG 2026 MBBS/BDS counselling, locate your name and verify every detail on this provisional list right away, and get any error corrected before it is finalised. Keep watching the BFUHS admission portal for the next notice, which should cover the seat allotment or choice-filling process for round 1.
